Sapele veneer is a medium pinkish to reddish brown wood with a nice
medium consistent grain. It can be a nice alternative to South
American Mahogany or when quarter cut it can have a distinct ribbon stripe grain.

Sapele is a commonly exported and economically important African
wood species. It’s sold both in lumber and veneer form. It is
occasionally used as a substitute for Genuine Mahogany, and is sometimes referred to as “Sapele Mahogany.” Technically,
the two genera that are commonly associated with mahogany are Swietenia and Khaya, while Sapele is in the Entandrophragma genus, but all three are
included in the broader Meliaceae family, so comparisons to true
mahogany may not be too far fetched.

Sapelli veneer, also called sapele veneer, originated from the
Africa, is a hardwood veneer mainly used for furniture surface
making and interior decoration.

Sapelli veneer has nice vertical grains with bold light yellow to
brown contrasting stripes. The contrasting grain can be tightly
spaced or slightly wider but always an alternating light and dark
contrast.

Sapelli is almost exclusively quarter cut only to produce the
characteristic stripe.

Sapele can be troublesome to work in some machining operations,
(i.e., planing, routing, etc.), resulting in tearout due to its
interlocked grain. It will also react when put into direct contact
with iron, becoming discolored and stained. Sapele has a slight
blunting effect on cutters, but it turns, glues, and finishes well.

Sapele has a distinct, cedar-like scent while being worked.

This wood species is not listed in the CITES Appendices, but is on
the IUCN Red List. It is listed as vulnerable due to a population
reduction of over 20% in the past three generations, caused by a
decline in its natural range, and exploitation.

Applications:

Sapelli veneer is a product applied to the surface of the furniture
to give it the appearance of being made of solid sapelli lumber. It
is also commonly used in surface of the door, also know as plywood,
MDF, chipboard and block board and interior decoration, etc.
